I'm currently on a mountain road in northern Iceland, stuck, in a snowstorm with a crashed car about 100m in front of me.

I'm fine but the snowstorm is sorry intense I can't see the car stopped 2m in front of my car.

Good news everyone! The mobile theme works!

Oh and I ran out of the car as soon as I realised there had been an accident but luckily no one was hurt so now I'm back in my car waiting for help to arrive.

Wow, ain't technology grand? Exo is trap in some frozen wasteland, but he's still able to blog about it.

Seriously, stay warm and safe until help gets there. I hope you at least called for help before posting on BGS forums.

Priorities must start from the most important thing to the least important. Obviously meaning posting here is the first course of action.

Mother nature is a [censored]. And all hail technology! And I hope everyone is alright there?

See this could be the beginning of a horror film. Remember stay close to the hot girls and you'll not die.

See if you watched Bear Gryll's Born Survivor you'd be able to live in that car forever.
Really though well done for trying to be a hero and being bold enough to inform us all

EDIT: Take pictures and post them, I wanna see what its like in Iceland storms

Isn't Iceland the green one ?

From what I've seen of it, Iceland = green and Greenland = white. What a world eh

I thought they usually died first, fter slipping and then crawling slowly instead of running.

So what, exo drinks his own piss, a friend films it. Then they go to a hotel and call it a day ? Aside from the piss part sounds like a good plan.

I agree, I would be interested to see how bad the snow can be in Iceland.

Look out for frost trolls, Exo.

Nowadays the super hot girl is the action girl, who will stay alive till the end. At best, you'll be the last to bite the dust until action girl do the evil in.

And he needs to eat beasties and hunt wild big/rabbits for food, create a fire for heat if his engine gives out, make a bed from near by trees...It's all good.
Damn I want to go home and put the programme on now.

Updqte!

We managed to turn my car around and I got off that damn road. Luckily the car isnt very large, there are still like 20 cars up there.

The road has been closed on both sides of the mountain.

I'm now about 2km from my house and this is as far as I can get on the car. Ill have to walk or run the rest of the way. The cellphpme coverage here is a bit unreliable but my phone has gps so I should be fine

Going now, wish me luck!

Gangi tér vel.

Pictures! You are forgeting pictures and putting safety over those pictures!

All you need is camoflauged trousers and you can be ActionMan.
Weather related: I can't see out the work windows because of snow/sleet/rain, take your weather back

Heading out in the snowstorm.. 2 KM? That's not a short distance, I'm telling you. Been there, frose that.

2km isn't far. You'll make it!

I'm home! The wind dropped so the walk wasn't so bad, I'm a bit tired though.

About that accident, it wasn't much, just a couple of cars that almost hit each other and one ended up on its side off the road and the other one was stuck in snow on the middle of the road. There were about 30 cars there and they had already called for help when I arrived. I talked to some people and they helped me and a few other cars to turn around on the road and go back. They closed the road shortly after I left.

Sorry, I didn't take many pictures... I only have two actually, I took them on my phone when I was stuck before I realised that I could go online

I haven't checked the news yet but I think they've opened the road again and helped those who were stuck up there. These things happen a lot here in Iceland during the winter and we have people who are basically on call 24/7 if something like this happens.

oh, and I didn't record this buthttp://youtu.be/_Rs6s-hujNg... I live in the middle of nowhere in Northern Iceland



Yeah I did.



Not during the winter



o_O

Glad to hear you're alright. Watched the youtube video, dang that's a lot of snow! How much are you guys averaging right now per day?

I very much dislike snow. I especially hate driving in snow storms. Fortunately, we don't get that much snow in Wisconsin (at least not very often).

Holy cow! Glad to see you are now safe!

My job will require me to drive all over Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. One of the places I have to go to goes over 3 passes that are between 10,000 and 11,000 feet, one of which is Red Mountain. It was featured on a show called Dangerous Drives. 47 miles of switch backs and 1000 foot drops and no guardrails. You will have time to contemplate the mistakes in your life as you plummet into the canyon.

Anyway, I have been over that pass, and most others, in full on white out blizzards. One time, they closed the road after I started up as the weather conditions were so bad. When I came down the other side, the Sherrif and the CDOT folks were quite amazed that I made it. I have also been on roads that if it were not for the reflector markers on the little poles, I would not know where the road is. Kind of take it on faith that there is road beneath the rubber.

Stuck in a snowstorm, time to drink my own piss. ~ Bear Grilles

Edit
Most dangerous drive I ever went on was the one on a bus coming back from the Yukon in the middle of the winter. Somehow, somewhere, someone made a mistsake. The bus should have been operating in the southern states/mexico. Where our winterized Canadian bus was who knows. My jacket also got torn making me absolutely frozen. 12 hour ride in this condition with only two brief half hour stops during them. Almost lost my toes. Somehow the damn company managed ot weasle its way out of getitng sued.

Edit2
By the time I got back to Ontario for various reasons, all of them bad I was in pretty bad shape. My heart was beginning to palpitate, not a good thing medically speaking.

Exo, I am glad you did not take an arrow to the knee during that adventure!



hahahaha... kill me, that was horrible.

@CCNA... they would have found my huddled frozen corpse in the spring in the mountains. I think it's nerve-wracking, some of those passes during reasonably nice weather. A snowstorm would freak me out.
